It's a great holiday. I'm not religious and neither is my family for the most part but we always make a point of getting dressed up on Christmas Eve and going to a service to get in the right mood. We go together as a large family and sing the carols and it brings us together. Also, the holiday just has so much to it. There's the church service, the morning after, and then, for me, a gathering at my grandparents' house with the whole extended family. Though we see each other often as an extended family (I'm lucky), Christmas is always the best because there is always more excitement in the air. My favorite things about Christmas, though, are not the presents, the tree or even the food (I know--amazing!): I love the Christmas lights on houses, the Christmas carols on the radio and being together warm and close with my family.
